Bacon Coconut Noodle
There is always something great about making that first dish in your new kitchen. Learning the new space, finding out things that are great and not so great about it. Realizing things that you forgot to move or get at the store and making quick changes to the dish based on that. I made these bacon coconut noodles as the first dish at the place I moved into a few days ago and I am absolutely loving it. The kitchen and the noodles.
Like any stir fry, get everything ready to go before you start cooking. Especially in a new kitchen!
Work that wok! My current cooking goal is to master the wok.
Zucchini is in and the wok is looking full.
Cooked rice noodles and coconut milk are in the pan next. Then some mushrooms.
Remove from heat and add cilantro and scallions.
Good plate of food! A hearty meal after a long day of unpacking.
The bacon and coconut combo is something I have never really had or explored but it was great! It was nice to see bacon in a dish with some Asian flavors going on.
